April 4 - Prayer to St. Isidore

O learned man whose wisdom remained not only in the mind but found practice in the Church of God, you who read and studied Scripture not just for its own sake but that the Word might be implemented amongst your flock – pray we too might live with the Word of God, that we too might share the light He would impart to every soul. Pray God's grace touch our innermost minds, that the understanding our ear receives will penetrate to our heart; and pray, dear shepherd, that God's Word permeate His Church as a whole, led by servants as learned as you in the way of love and truth.
